Walcourt, and then DBF... two extremes of our wargames hobby

 A few phot3os form a selection of games. A Volley and Bayonet refight of the battle of Walcourt, 1689, play testing one of Adrian and Jon's scenarios for the upcoming book of scenarios for the Nine Years War. I loved the look of the table.







And then for something completely different, a couple of 80 point games using the DBF rules.. Murray and Andy, Jim and me. The armies were 'rocks vs dwarves';, and Lost Worlds vs Alexandrian Macedonian.

  1. VERY MUCH looking forward to the Nine Years War book . My favourite all time period, even in history - such potted drama amidst family, combined with world spanning events...some of which remain in both tradition, and even law, to this day.

Some 'serious' historical reading....

Interspersed with some new New Zealand fiction, and a diet of poetry (Cohen, Curnow, Bukowski, Shakespeare etc etc etc), I finished reading ...
